Monday Morning Memoirs: Women in the Second Half of Life

Monday Morning Memoirs is a dazzling collection of intimate stories written by ten remarkable women who first met in a creative writing class in the mid-nineties and have continued to write together ever since. This wildly different, yet amazingly similar group of women, aged forty-five to seventy-nine, have provided a unique view of the Second Half of Life across several generations. They have crafted their memories with exceptional compassion, humor, insight and attention to the cultural changes that have occurred in the last four decades. An introduction to each chapter describes the elements of memoir writing contained in each piece so that you can begin to write your life story too.
